There's something hard for us, children of the colonised, to articulate because the world is upside down. Europe and its descendants, can't differentiate between principle and episode. This is why Germany (and much of Europe) is doomed to be genocidal. Here is what I mean. 🧵

This is 100% the kind of person who believes in the Soviet's version of "dialectical materialism"

Last year we noticed data showing enormous increases in gold exports from Africa to the UAE, particularly from countries adjacent to war zones in places like Congo & Sudan. Since then we've been flying around the world to follow the supply chain & crunching the numbers 🧵

Is there anybody who isn't a conspiracy theorist anymore? I actually miss the pre social media days

I'm not sure why she keeps repeating this line that she is being accused of "being racist against myself" as if it's some sort of mic drop. She literally is being racist against herself and anyone else who looks like her, has her ethnic/immigrant background. To say you have to be white to be English is a totally racist statement. And this cop-out that she's British not English doesn't deal with Italy or France, where they don't have two identities. So is she saying brown and black people can't be French? If so, then what are brown and black people in France? Or Italy? The idea that the England football team captain can be Black but Braverman says he won't be considered English is both absurd and, yes, racist. And her being brown doesn't give her a pass or cover for her racism, it just means she's a self-hating racist.

Interesting that, all of a sudden the right are champions of epistemic standpoint theory and the idea that lived experience trumps the truth.

Suella Braverman on GMB this morning, yapping on excitedly about how she LOVES the British Empire, how her cousin comes over as an immigrant and how her family all benefited blah blah Kate Garraway quips "So you're PRO immigration?" Braverman laughs nervously "not today in 2026" This is what we call pulling up the drawbridge.

Of course you can be racist against yourself. It's called self-hatred. Very common actually. In your case though, it's called pandering to the far right vote. You wanna be one of the good ones.

Repping the streets of St Albans, prra prra, pew pew 🔫🔫

Lads this is truly fucking insane. What are you playing at?

“I want Putin to get in front of the ICC." @FranceskAlbs explains to @mehdirhasan what she actually meant when she said there shouldn’t be any more weapons sent to Ukraine, noting that there are people “exploiting” the suffering of Ukrainians.

Infuriating, but not surprising. A DOJ whistleblower has now confirmed what we said from day one: the "antisemitism" investigations into universities were predetermined, evidence-free, and political. And Columbia's trustees participated in this hoax. They paid $221 million, handed over records, and expelled students to close a deal built on nothing. David Greenwald led that board. Shame on him and on every trustee who went along to advance their Zionist ideology. If they have any dignity left, they resign. And there must be a full investigation into them and it will come. apnews.com/article/trump-har…

Not only politically motivated. This is also just horrible methodology.

Palantir is monitoring MPs who dare to criticise them 👁️ MP Clive Lewis just received a creepy letter from Tom Watson specifically referencing his 130+ anti-Palantir remarks If Palantir is so trustworthy, why are they intimidating those who criticise them? thenerve.news/p/clive-lewis-…

That's three of their best minds guys.

"بس داير منك حاجة واحدة، بس الشفته في السودان أعكسه للعالم" موظف مغسلة ال 100 دولار دي أعلى من راتبه غالباً، ما شالها ولا ظهر في الكاميرا بعدها ولا قبل الهدية إلا بصعوبة ولما أتيحت له الفرصة ليطلب لم يطلب لنفسه بل طلب ل 40 مليون سوداني دون أن نعرف حتى اسمه، ياخي شعب عظيم والله ♥️

NATO's Rutte: Europe was not able to take out the nuclear capability of Iran. We couldn’t. We will have the capabilities in 10 years — we can, and we should. It should also be us taking care of the Houthis in the Red Sea, and not the Americans. Of course there are always ramifications, but the ramifications start from a premise that it is good that the Americans did this. And I am one believing that it was absolutely essential for the Americans to take on Iran.

Iran believed to be involved in RAF Fairford plot, Andy Burnham says: thetimes.com/uk/crime/articl…

Andy Burnham: There are strong indications that Iran played a part in what happened over the weekend at RAF Fairford. We will say more in due course, but we can confirm our belief that Iran played a part.

Hi @jreynoldsMP, I’m an economist who's come round to rent controls! Here’s why 🧵: Markets only work well if: -buyers & sellers have roughly equal power -producers respond to price signals & expand supply in response to scarcity -buyers can walk away if prices get too high

I'd imagine if the attendees of the fifth pan African Congress in Manchester had a time machine and saw this, they'd have tears of joy in their eyes
